Operations Research which is also known as Management Science is the systematic application of quantitative methods, techniques and tools to the analysis of problems involving operations of systems. In today`s competitive business, engineers, executives, administrators and managers in almost all fields of business apply operations research techniques to make better and more accurate decisions based on factual data available related to the problems to be solved. Operations research has wide scope of application in various fields of business, for example, accounting, finance, marketing, production/operations, human resource, etc.
Because of the wide application of quantitative methods or technique in problem solving and decision making, study of operations research as a core subject in MBA program has become inevitable. The success of any business organisation is primarily based on the quality and timeliness of decisions taken by managers and therefore managers are evaluated mainly on the results of their decisions. Even though many software programs are widely used to solve operations research problem, the conceptual knowledge of the subject is important for all managers.
